【1】then →when.

【2】find →found.

【3】laying →lying.

【4】read →reading.

【解析】

试题分析：文章讲述了一本不仅让儿子痴迷不吃饭而且也让父亲痴迷不吃饭的书。

【1】then →when.考查固定句式。“be about to do sth. when...”是固定句型，意为“正要做某事突然……”。此处指正要吃晚饭时突然发现儿子没在。故then →when.

【2】find →found. 考查时态。文章讲述的是发生在过去的事情全文是过去时，该句也要用一般过去时态。故find →found.

【3】laying →lying. 考查非谓语动词。该题考查“find+宾语+宾语补足语”结构。Mike和lie之间是主动关系，lay意为“放置，搁置，产卵”。lie意为“躺”，其现在分词形式为lying。此处指Mike躺在地上，故laying →lying.

【4】read →reading. 考查非谓语动词。“read a book”是伴随状语。Mike和read之间是主动关系，要用现在分词。故read →reading.

【5】unwilling →unwillingly. 考查副词。此处修饰动词left用副词，指“不愿意离开”故unwilling →unwillingly.

【6】去掉Wondering后面的that. 考查名词性从句。“what absorbed his son so much”是wonder的宾语从句，从句缺少主语，故用what引导从句。that多余，应去掉。

【7】waiting后加for. 考查介词。Wait是不及物动词,和介词for搭配，“wait for sb. ”意为“等待某人”。故waiting后加for.

【8】patient →impatient. 考查句意理解。由语境可知，Mrs Smith不耐烦了，所以她让儿子去找爸爸。patient意为“有耐心的”，根据句意，要将patient改为其反义词“impatient”。故patient →impatient.

【9】surprised →surprise. 考查名词。“to one’s +n.”意为“令某人感到……的是” “to one’s surprise”意为“令某人感到惊讶的是”。to是介词，后面要跟名词。surprised是形容词，故surprised →surprise.

【10】hers →his. 考查代词。该处指Tom的书，Tom是男性，故hers →his.
